The denizens of Fifth AMI Dupont
Streets were startled on Sunday evening
about GAS by hearing pistol shots. 1t
appears that George Fuchs and Graft
fried Kroeder went into the Excelsior
Brewing Company to get beer. While
here, George Graham and Kroeder got
into an alteration. lie says he ordered
Kroeder out and he wouldn't go. How
ever, Kroeder was shot at four times by
Graham and one ofthe balls taking effect,
killing the man instantly. Graham
escaped but was captured in Chester. In
discussing the matter Graham says the
fellows came in the place and raised a
row and he was trying to get them out
when they turned upon him and attack
ed him furiously. Graham had deep
and wide cash OH the side of his head,
and there are other wounds upon his
body. 1t is hard to get the facts of the
shooting at this time.

Passenger engine No. $50, designed by
Mr.. A. j. Cromwell, Superintendent of
Motive Power, Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road Company, has recently been turned

more to Martinsburg in two hours and
fifty six minutes, making four stops at

the running time was, therefore, made
at the rate thirty-nine miles per hour,
an exceedingly high rate of speed to
maintain with so large a train and over
such grades as intervene between Balti-
timore and Martinsburg.
Still two more remarkable performances
by the same engine were made in taking
Limited Express Train No. 3, consisting
of one sleeping car, two coaches, one

Since taking hold of THE LEDGER it
has been our chief aim to establish in
connection Herewith first class job de-
partment, where all classes of work
could be done. We have succeeded in
the endeavor, and to-day we are better
prepared than any job office outside of
Wilmington TO do work from the largest
display poster to the smallest business
card. Small expenses enable US to do
work on closest margins, and a constant
ly increasing trade testifes to this. No
one need 60 away, and those from q dis
lance can save money by getting esti-
mates for work they wish done. There
fore, we extend a hearty invitation to
those in need of any class of printing to
come and see us, or write for estimates,
etc. No charge for sending printed mat
ter to distance.

Slipping Away.

Our town is being depopulated. Many
of our citizens have made their homes in
'other places, and but few families have
moved into Newark. There are several
valuable stores vacant and We think if
the right parties take hold Lying can
be made. Some of us here can't get
away, and it is our endeavor to get in
dustries to settle here. 1t is true, we
can't offer them much inducement, but
we will gladly welcome any who may
cast their lot with u.s. We cannot see
why business men, or manufactures
don't locate here. Rents are cheaper,
and everything is so convenient to travel.
We intend to stay and take care of the
town if all our citizens go.

A PnILADELpHIAN's QUEER WAGER.

A rather singular bet was made in
Philadelphia on the night before election.
No money was wagered, but it was
agreed that the winner should be privi-
legged at any time within twelve months
to call upon the loser at any time, night
or day, and in any place, and proclaim in
loud tone: a own this man. He dare
not deny it. l possess secret about his
life that puts him completely in my pow
err He dare not refuse to do anything |
tell him. To prove my assertion ! will
order him to treat everyone within sound
of my voice to champagne"
Imagine the situation, should this be
sprung upon the unfortunate loser in a
crowded cafe, or at u business meeting,
or at banquet 1t was mutually agreed
that no matter how offensive the tone
or manner might be the loser dare not
resent it. The manner in which the
gentleman who got on the wrong side of
the fence avoids the gentleman who got
on the right side in crowded places is
amusing to say the least. lie has been

WALKING MATCH.

The pedestrians in the late Philadel-

as expected. The total gate receipts was
little more than $4,000, while but half of
that went to the "peds." The case of
poor old man Elson was pitiable. He
walked 500 miles and did not make a
cent. His hacker got all the money. The

A DIVIDEND TO BE DECLARED BY
COMPTROLLER TRENHOLM.

About One Million Dollars of the Defunct
Cincinnati Bank Now in the Hands OF

Profit in Buying Government Bonds.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 26. Comptroller Of
the Currency Trenholm has concluded, after
an examination of the affairs Of the Fidelity
National bank of Cincinnati, to declare a
dividend as soon as possible. For the pur-
pose of aecertaining exactly what percent
age to pay to the depositors he desires that
all accounts should be presented and proved
Immediately. In explaining matters the
comptroller said
There are in the treasury belonging to
the Fidelity National bank about 500, 900.
l think that before the 1st Of September the
amount will be 81 100000. At per cent.
per annum the interest ON $1,000, 900 is up
ward Of sl64 day; and, as have no doubt
the depositors could use their money either
to make or to save interest at & per cent. or
over, / am very anxious to pay dividend
at the earliest possible time. am informed
that the creditors are slow in proving their
claims The law allows them three months
for this step but l don't want to postpone
paying dividends to those who have proved
their claims until the end of three months.
have, therefore, written to the receiver to
suggest the earlier date at which a dividend
can be declared All the claims filed up to
that time and proved will participate in that
dividend. OF course, sufficient funds will
be reserved to cover the claims appearing
on the books of the bank but not yet
proved by the holders, and at the end of
three months from the appointment of the
receiver those who do not participate in the
first dividend viii be paid in the same
ratio
The comptroller added that his idea was
to declare the first dividend about the lst Of
